Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z “rewarded” the pal who attacked R. Kelly by making him a record company executive, court papers claim.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Kelly charges that after he was pepper-sprayed in the face, his former pal Jay-Z showed his gratitude to the attacker by giving him a job at Def Jam.

The new suit says Jay- Z’s actions show that the alleged sprayer, Tyran “Ty-Ty” Smith, “was acting within the scope and course of his employment by Jay-Z” during the Oct. 29, 2004, assault at Madison Square Garden.

A spokeswoman for Def Jam declined comment and the company’s lawyer did not return a call. A Jay-Z representative referred to Kelly’s earlier suit as “a calculated stunt” designed “to deflect public and media attention from his upcoming felony trial involving an alleged sexual liaison with a 14-year-old child.”

The “I Believe I Can Fly” singer had his falling out with Jay-Z last year, when the rapper booted him off their “Best of Both Worlds Tour” following the disastrous show at the Garden.

Kelly claims he was forced to leave the stage twice during the show because he saw men with guns in the audience.

But when Kelly tried to go back on, “Smith, unprovoked and without justification, confronted R. Kelly and sprayed him and several members of his entourage in the eyes and face with Mace or pepper spray,” the suit says.
